Because there's nothing that stops Japanese players from being on NA or EU Data Centers and the opposite. It's unlikely they'd give themselves a laggy connection, but look at all the people who transfer to Balmung for RP and not gameplay?
That, or it's an all or nothing thing because it's likely a server software patch and just easier to keep all datacenters on the same version. (China and Korea servers excluded).
